You have to call Lyman direct for that one. They do still make and sell them, but they aren’t listed in the website.

When I lived in Az I did that once, shortly thereafter I was at Walmart and watched an employee of said gun store purchase all the rimfire ammo that was on the shelf. I’m sure it was flipped for...

I've had 2 cans of the white Imperial sizing die wax for at least 10 years now. I'm almost through the first can. No issues at all.
I switched to the wax after a stuck casing resulting from...

NOOO! Don't do it! That's like saying I'm going to take up reloading because its cheaper. . .
Just kidding, welcome to a whole new world of reloading and firearms.

I have the factory one in a Lyman 4500. I plug it in and wait 20 mins, at which time I unplug it and start sizing boolits. Once the lube starts cooling to the point that the ratchet takes more...

The mechanic trade has also progressed on a similar path. Very few can actually troubleshoot down a problem and fix it, instead Mechanics now are basically parts changers.
I’ve come to accept that very rarely does something come out of the box ready to go. As a country, we’ve lost that pride in craftsmanship that produced things like that. Most everything now needs...
Another option is to just use a set of needle nose pliers. Insert the nose and twist with gentle pressure. Not hard to do at all.

That is why Nylon 66's are still desirable, like a good old pickup truck, take a lickin & keep on tickin. . .
If one has a lathe, I'd be looking at McMaster Carr's .500" x 12" rod of Ultra-Dense Tungsten. . . .

I still have a large stock of 1942 Denver produced 30-06. Even though I'm young I'm fairly certain I have enough 30-06 casings to last my lifetime. Every time I find USGI brass for a decent price I...
Glocks are designed for military ammo, this hasn’t been mentioned yet but the current M882 NATO 9mm specification falls squarely in the +P category. It likely will be fine. I wouldn’t advise it, as...

Most of the time, shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops. Before anyone cautions me, yes I know this is probably not advisable and I've only poured molten lead onto my leg once. That's all it took, now I...

I haven't needed to break into the powder cache yet, but I've got 16lb of it for use with cast boolits. The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook - 3rd edition listed 748 as suitable for a great many cast...

Look up electrolysis cleaner. Back in the golden days of C&R firearms, this was the way to go. I rescued many a $44 M44 Mosin’s using a homemade one.
